Games on SALE!

figmentPez · May 13, 2020

Humble Bundle celebrates it's 10th anniversary with Humble Indie Bundle 21 and it's kinda underwhelming. There are good games in the list, but I've never heard of either of the games in the $15 tier. I also have 3 of the 7 games from previous bundles or Twitch Prime.

A post on Reddit theorizes that they used some of the deals planned for this bundle to make the COVID-19 Bundle, and that would make a lot of sense. It's not a bad bundle, just not as impressive as a 10th Anniversary deserves.

Anyway, the games:
$1
- Hotline Miami
- Beat Cop
- Dustforce DX
... and the non-game Hamble Wallpaper Pack and Hamble Coloring Pages

Beat the Average
- Moonlighter (w/ coupon for 25% OFF Moonlighter: Between Dimensions DLC)
- Gato Roboto
... with more coming next week.

$15+
- Hypnospace Outlaw
- Starbound

Hypnospace Outlaw looks fascinating. Somehow you play as someone who has to police the internet in the 90's, which involves recreating a lot of weird shit from that time period.

I'm not sure how you capture the magic that was "Mr. T Ate My Balls", but if they can do it, I'd pay for it.

Epic is determined to gain market share, they're giving away GTA 5 right now... but it is on the Epic Game Store, so....

Fun Size · May 14, 2020

Me, I've installed and played quite a few of the free Epic games. I buy games through Humble and Steam though.

klew · May 14, 2020

I just bought that from a Humble sale 5 weeks ago.

Humble is giving away free copies of Aegis Defenders for a limited time.

A friend bought me an Epic store exclusive game so I voiced my chagrin and downloaded it. It's as bad as you think it is. But if they are giving away a game and get no money for it...

My problem is that Tencent owns 40% of the Epic Games, and I'm bothered by a Chinese company having so much control over gaming.

But I'm never giving them money so I'm still okay. Besides, I still have GTAV on Steam.

I have never heard of this game before, but yay, free game!

Here's one I wasn't expecting to see: Night Trap for $1.50 on Switch

Fun Size · May 15, 2020

And yes I bought it. I've never played it, so $1.50 is a steal for the historic value alone.

GasBandit · May 15, 2020

For all the controversy generated by Night Trap, it was hilariously cheesy campy proto-FNAF inanity. Just 1990 parents couldn't deal with teenagers showing their midriffs.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game is free on both Steam and PS4 right now.

EDIT: Oh, and Xbox, too.

ThatNickGuy · May 19, 2020

Hot damn, this is a good Bandai Namco bundle.

figmentPez · May 21, 2020

More free games

GOG.com: The Witcher: Enhanced Edition (but you'll have to jump through the hoops of subscribing to their newsletter, and adding Gwent, also free, to your library.)

Steam: 10 Second Ninja X

Epic: Civilization VI

And now Aegis Defenders is free directly from Steam.

Also free is Interkosmos a VR-only game.

GOG.com's summer sale has started. Some decent deals in there, unfortunately on games I already own.

Epic store has Borderlands: The Handsome Collection (Borderlands 2 and Pre-Sequel) free until June 4th.

PatrThom · May 28, 2020

Man, Epic is layin' it on thick.

Gryfter · May 28, 2020

Still not interested.

Dave · May 28, 2020

I'll download everything they have as long as I'm not giving them any money. IN fact, they lose money when you do it. Win-win!

GasBandit · May 28, 2020

When it comes to having to install yet another distribution platform, free is too expensive.

I already have it installed. Someone bought me a game to play with them so I have obligations.

GasBandit · May 28, 2020

Poor bastard

Tinwhistler · May 28, 2020

Meh, I don't care. I have GoG, Steam, Epic, Origin. If GasBandit came to my house, he'd have to use hand sanitizer after touching the keyboard

For a NUMBER of reasons.

David · May 29, 2020

I already had Epic installed before the game store was even a thing for Unreal Engine. I'm happy to take the free games as it throws them at me, but I'm probably not going to pay money through anything that's not on Steam. But I see it only as a good thing to have more competition, Steam was admittedly getting stale before other stores started popping up.

Also I wonder if this means the free games weekly feature is going away soon if they're now breaking out all the AAA titles as a finale.

GOG is giving away Total Annihilation for the next 3 days.

ThatNickGuy · Jun 5, 2020

Itch.Io has a bundle right now for over SEVEN HUNDRED GAMES, with a minimum donation of $5. Though not just video games. Looks like there's some tabletop RPG stuff in there, too. There's...a lot to look at. They're all with direct download, so no Steam keys, but there are some really solid indie games among it like Oxenfree, Night in the Woods, A Short Hike, and Minit.

Keep in mind: these are direct download only. No Steam keys.

Best of all, all proceeds go towards the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund.

Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality by itch.io and 1391 others

Killing Floor 2 has kicked off its summer Pirate-themed update, and has gone on sale for 10 bucks.

ThatNickGuy · Jun 11, 2020

Snake Pass is available to claim for free for the next two days. Fun little game, honestly. It's kind of a platformer, but instead of jumping around, you wrap yourself around things.

Also, Journey is now available on Steam. It was a PS3/PS4 exclusive for years. Then it popped up on the Epic Game Store. Now on Steam. And for a limited time, if you buy Journey, you also get the developer's previous game, Flower. Just need to add Journey to your cart and buy it on its on and Flower is added automatically.
